Biggest one I’ve ever seen. Brown head ,legs, and a yellow abdomen! Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

They will let you go but it seems like forever. It was a hellofa pinch, didn't break the skin. Almost as bad as a big grasshopper, it's memorable. Running through an unmowed field with a cousin one July Fourth one found it's way into my jeans pocket and latched on. Outside they're easy to brush off but inside a pocket takes a while.

I have handled a lot of them and have never even thought they could bite. But, I don't think ours are big enough to do any damage to humans. Last edited by kennymauser; 09/28/19.

Good photo DD ! I never knew they could fly until I tried to grab one off the front door the other day. "Allways speak the truth and you will never have to remember what you said before..."
